Emperor penguins are amazing birds. They not only survive the Antarctic winter, but they breed during the worst weather conditions on earth. The emperor is the largest of the 18 penguin species. Adults can weigh up to 40 kg at the start of the breeding season. Emperor penguins breed in colonies scattered around the Antarctic continent. Colonies range in size from a few hundred to over 20,000 pairs. Most colonies are situated on the fast-ice that is locked between islands or grounded icebergs.
